They manage all the affairs relating to
the poor, public health. cattle diseases
the prisons and the schools, and other
purposes of local governing bodies.
There are local elective boards in the
Irish towns, but these are elected by
restricted suffrage, and their acts may
be reversed and rejected by the central
boards at Dublin.
The Lord-Lieutenant also appoints
the Lord Lieutenants of the Irish coun-
ties, and these, in their turn, select the
unpaid ma gistrates who dispense justice
| in the local courts. 1t is said that, al
| though Ireland is Catholic by more than
four to one, thrce-quarters of the local
| magistrates appointed are ProtestantS.
The Lord-Lieutenant selects the poor
| law guardians, and the shcritts OF the
counties; and the sheriifs, in their turn,
appoint the grand juries, which, in Ire
land, possess large powers of local CON
troll.
The "stipcndiary" magistrates. who
are paid for their services, and who hold
higher courts, are also selected by the
central power at Dublin Castle. The po-
lice, who have in charge the maintenance
OF public order in Ireland, are under the
command of an nspector-General al
Dublin. who is the appointee Of the
Lord-Lieutenant; and the police, also

IRISH GOVERNMENT I.
Tho Chief Grievance of Those Irishmen
Who Desire Home Rule.

One of the chief grievances Of which
those Irishmen who desire home rule
complain is the way in which Ireland is
governed by English officials. All the
local affairs of Ireland, indeed, are I'M
der the direct or indirect control OF
what is called the Government OF Dub
lin Castle.
Dublin Castle has been for many cent
uries the residence Of the chef e1-
ecutiye ruler of Ireland. who has al
ways been appointed by the British
Crown. and has been the rePresenta-
tive of the British King or Queen in that
country. The Lord Lieutenant, or Vice
row. of Ireland. rs the ruler is
called, has always enjoyed large,
almost despotic, powers. He IS not re-
sponsible, in any way, to the Irish peo-
pie. over whose concerns he exercises
SO large an authority. He is respon-
sible only to the British Cabinet, and.
through it, to the British Parliament.
If every Irishman in the island opposed
his policy, they could not call him tt
account. So long as he was sustained
bv the British Government, he could dc
as he pleased. Usually the Lord-Lieu
tenant has been great English Peer
When he has been, as the present hold
err of the office is, an Irish nobleman. h
has vet been devoted to British, rathe
than to Irish, interests.
Associated with the Lord-Lieutenan
is the "Chief Secretary for ireland,
who is almost invariably an English
man, who sits as a member of the Bri
ish House of Commons. and who goes i
and out of office with the British polite
al party to which he belongs. Th
Lord-Lieutenant also holds his plac
only so long as his party is in power.
These two chief officials, with the
headquarters at Dublin Castle, presto
over large body of minor officials, an
over the general local concerns OF Ii
land. The Lord-Lieutenant has
very wide range of appomtir
power. Ireland's affairs are main
administered by a number OF board
the chief of which are the boards
local government, public works, n
tional and intermediate educatio
lunacy, fisheries, charities, prisons al
loan funds The members of al the
boards are chosen by the Lord-Lle

How a Seedy-LooisinE individual Enjoyed
Himself without Expense.

Yesterday afternoon, about three
O'Clock, a dog with tin kettle tied to
its wagging machinery was observed
on Austin avenue. The dog did not
appear to be much alarmed ut the ket-

crative office. He took it rs a matter
of course. There was tall, secdy-
looking young man standing near a
crowd on the sidewalk. He looked in
tently at the dog for a moment, and
then said:

sons little daughters lost dog he has
offered fifty dollars for.

for leaving their teams, joined in thu

turned the corner, with the dog and at

A Hindoo vvoman's Home.

Now for an idea of Hindoo woman's
home life The floor and walls are of CLAW.
with no ornamentation of any sort and the
least furniture possible. Every morning
she has to pray-not for herself, as she is
taught that she has no soul-for her hus-
band, for rain and for general blessings.
Then she spends two or three hours pre-
pairing breakfast. She doesn't eat with her
husband, but perhaps fans him at his re-
quest. During the daytime she either
sleeps, gossips with the other women, or
sometimes a reader reads to them from the
lives of the gods. These stories are unfit
for human ears-they are vile from begin
ming to end. The children and women are
taught them. At night they prepare their
husbands meal in the same manner. They
are not protected against the weather and
dampness, nor are they properly fed and
clothed. The rich live the same as the
poor. If sick they are deemed cursed by
tie gods. and are taken TO the stable and
left alone; the only food they can get is
left by stealth. Thousands die of neglect.
The first day that Hindoo boy abuses
his mother is a festal occasion with his
father. who boasts of it to his friends. To
be a widow is the sum OF unhappiness
She is especially cursed by the gods. As
the husband dies half dozen BARRIERS
wives rush upon her and tear the iewelry
from her ears and nose. Behind The fu-
neral cortege she follows, surrounded by
these fiends, who throw her into the water.

The Composer of Home, Sweet Home.

The doubt as to the authorship of the
beautiful melody of Home, Sweet Home"
still appears to be unsettled, writes Dir.
Charles Mackay to the London Telegraph.
Controversies are every now and then
started in the newspapers on the subject.
With the view of putting an e I'd to them,
once for all, l write this letter to prove to
the most incredulous that the air is Eng
fish, and was the composition of the very
eminent and gifted musician, the late Sir
Henry r. Bishop. In one of many con-
versations on well-known English melo-
dies with that gentleman, took occasion
to ask him for information on the subject
of Home, Sweet Home the authorship
of which was often attributed to him, and
as often denied by many. who claimed it
as national Sicilian air which Sir Henry
had discovered and rearranged.
He thereupon favored me with the whole
history. He had been engaged, in his
early manhood, to edit collection of the
national melodies of all countries. In the
course of his labors he discovered that he
had no Sicilian melody worthy ofreproduc-
ton, and so Sir Henry thought he would
invent one. The result was now the we'll
known air of Home, Sweet Home"
which he composed to the verses of an
American author, Edward Payne, then
resident in England. When the collection
was published the melody became so pop
ular that, to use a common phrase ut took
the town by Storm" and several musical
publishers, believing it to be Sicilian, and
non-copyright, reissued it.

SEEKING LIGHT IN THE WEsT.-During
the Middle Ages, leprosy, even now the
dread of the East, was the scourge of all
Europe, but it is now seldom found there
except on the west coast of Norway, where
it is still frightfully common. Little is
understood of the origin and nature of this
disease notwithstanding the fact that it
has continued to affiict great mass of
mankind from the earliest times The
Norwegian Government, one of the most
active in advancing the cause of science, is
seeking to promote a better knowledge of
what was formerly regarded as special
visitation from God, and TO aid in SO doing
has dispatched DIR. G. A. Hansen to-not
China, but America. This investigator has
had much experience with lepers, and his
purpose is to inquire into the heredity of
leprosy among Scandinavian settlers in the
United States. While such study promises
to be of much value, an announcement of
more direct practical importance comes
from Japan, where DR.. Goto claims to be
actually curing the disease, reporting five
patients as nearly cured, nineteen as i'm
proving and seventeen as relieved.

1he Turnins-Point in a Great Mans Life.

The incident which influenced his whole
career and led him towards life of philan-
tnropy was indeed strange one 1t oc-
CURED when he had been at Harrow about
Two years, and was yet boy between II
and 10. He was one day walking alone
down Harrow Hill, when he was startled
by bearing great shouting in side street;
anu then he beheld coffin carried by four
or five drunken men. Staggering as thew
turned the corner, they let their burden
fall, and then broke out into foul and hor-
rioie language. Horritied at the sickening
spectacle, he gazed speil-bound, and then
exclaimed Can this be permitted, SIM
ply because the man was poor and friend
less And before the horrid sound of
the drunken songs had died in the distance
he had resolved to devote his life to the
cause OF the poor and friendless.
Nearly 40 years afterwards, when walk
ing down the same hill with Dr. Butler,
the son of his old master, his companion
asked him is he could remember any pecu-
liar incident which induced him to dedicate
his life to the poor and wretched.
1T is most extraordinary that you should
ask me that here" he said, " for il was
within ten yards of the spot where we are
now standing that | first resolved TO make
the cause of the poor man my own" and
then be told DIR. Butler the incident lust
recorded. Mr.. Holder suggests that suit
able monument should be erected there,
such as stone seat, like that which marks
the spot above the vale of Keston, where
Wliberforce conversed with Pitt, and de-
termlned to bring forward the question of
the abolition of slavery.-The Q7tirer.
